Summary/Abstract: If individuals and technologies can harmonize their intelligence under various forms, only the intelligent organizations will have the capacity to transform and coordinate these abilities for their own advantage by using informational technologies, by combining the most advanced software technologies with the newest management instruments in order to produce extremely efficient organizations. The information excess is a chronic phenomenon for the modern organization, so that the lack of the capacity to filter and use relevant information is a consequence of the inefficiency to manage the knowledge fund, of the lack of a clear strategy with a common purpose for personnel and team. Today, almost the intelligent organizations must manage and apply the entire knowledge fund, they must use instruments and technologies in order to build an informational architecture, having as a purpose the competitiveness in a turbulent and changing environment. The apportion of the information and knowledge of the organization, the exchange of information between employees, departments and even other companies are facilitated by the information and communication technology. Not all information are valuable, but in order to establish what information respond to the questions What? Where? How? When? and Why? instruments of knowledge management are needed in order to determine what knowledge is qualified to be intellectually active. Within the organization of Romania the information still circulates on unclear routes, it is considered a good which should be restrained for certain employees. The rigid, bureaucratic structure and the closed communicational system must be excluded from the perspective of the organization modernization. The best solution is the collaboration and transversal communication between employees, the apportion of information using the new technologies which could allow the accumulation, stocking and finding again the information at the adequate moment. The Internet and the new technologies will allow the knowledge exchange, the information filtering, the improvement of communication, and the professional instruction of employees, will increase the knowledge availability, the autonomy level at the level of the employee, modifying at decisional level the communication opportunity. The intelligent organization is an open system that uses decision support systems, collaborative networks, innovation, social networks, knowledge management and intelligent instruments to accomplish the managerial performance (business intelligence) in order to manage the accumulated information and knowledge, the current and past operations for the prediction of future business operations.
